New GPU blocking fp connectors

[peroncho11]

Hi, I was thinking about getting a R9 380, so I checked the available space....It would block slots, is there any solution besides getting a new motherboard?

White arrow shows Im moving one sata hdd to the other slot, but there's other 2 things that get blocked, that "panel 1", red figure represents the space needed by the new card.

Here's my motherboard:

...maybe if I plug the new card into the other pci-e slot....??
Edit: Thats the only pci-e port ;(

You should be okay if you use Left angle sata cables. If you use the angled part on the motherboard it should keep the cable from messing with the GPU. Not that it helps you but I have to say, you motherboard has the worse placed sata connectors I've seen.

lol yes, thanks 😉

But the problem is with the front panel connectors, power-reset, etc. The white arrow shows that I can move the sata to another slot.

Yeah I see what your talking about. What GPU do you have now? It looks like your GPU and a r9 380 would be about the same length. (just looking at your GPU cooler). But, If the r9 380 is too long then I don't see any solution for you accept choosing a shorter card.
